Also comment on long video of Dave Lee interview with Rob Maurer.
I’ve been sitting on my front porch and I see *so much* wasted delivery vehicles right now before xmas. Like I saw the Amazon sprinter van, the UPS brown truck and the USPS package delivery all at the same time on a Sunday! And I live on a small residential street. So there needs to be a drastic reduction in duplication of delivery miles by simply doing what Uber, Instacart and other deliveries are doing: coordinate deliveries by using real time software. The infrastructure brick & mortar warehouses are already in place. What we need is to give territories to various companies and make coordination schedules for inter-company transport. UPS, FedEx and the USPS could stop the senseless overlapping of delivery territories and have dedicated territories.
The changes coming in the near future with robo-taxis, autonomous driving vehicles and electric vehicles with an artificial intelligence will mean major changes. The software I’m talking about needs to be included in this, too.
